HOUGHS NECK - Steve Yocco continued to tear it up, going 4-5 with 3 RBI and scoring four times to help the McInnis Carpentry softball club beat S6 18-9 for it's fifth straight win.
Sal Buonopane, Steve McInnis & Jimmy Dennis all had big nights as well. With the win the Hammers finish the first half of the season at 8-2 and face Flanagans (9-1) on Wednesday night in a battle for first place.
While the Hammers offense sputtered for the first two innings S6 came out swinging, building a 7-0 lead heading into the third. Hits by McInnis (2-4, 2 RBI), Buonopane (4-4, 2 runs) and Yocco set the stage for Jimmy Dennis, who connected on a bases clearing triple to right center to pull the Carpenters within one. The black and orange went on to outscore their opponent 12-2 the rest of the way and move within a game of first place.
"This was a great win over a solid team", said Hammer outfielder Neal Plant "Their lineup can hit, this game was much closer than the final score indicated. We had our hands full tonight, they certainly missed a few opportunities to make this a tighter game . . . but give our guys credit, where they failed we succeeded. Our hitters were clutch all night, just like we've been for most of the year."
NOTES: Rich Brill was unable to attend tonites game due to a strained left hamstring and could possibly be placed on the IR as soon as tomorrow morning . . . It was the first meeting between the two clubs since last seasons playoffs. Last year, known as the VFW, the #2 seed Hammers were upset in the playoffs by the #7 seed club from Germantown.

they're still has-beens. the only reason they're 8-2 is because they got Richie Brill back. it's as plain as day.
One question for the chumps calling us has beens. What is your team's record?
I'd rather be a has-been, than a never been!! You chumps!!!
